Maserati Club AGM and Concours D’Elegance
Prescott Hill Climb, Gloucestershire, GL52 9RD.
These popular club events will once again take place at the scenic Gloucestershire home of Prescott Hillclimb. The event is open to all Club members and their families and includes the Annual General Meeting, the Club Concours and also an opportunity to drive the famous hill.
Prescott has been at the forefront of British Hillclimbing for almost 80 years now and is the home of the Bugatti Owner's Club. We are sharing the venue with the Jaguar E-type Register, which allows us to offer the event and the hillclimb at a very competitive price
.
Imagine a summer's day on the Prescott Estate, enjoying the rolling acres of green and dappled sun in the orchard combined with the smell of hot motor oil and polish, the feel of warm tarmac and the sound of a well-tuned engine !
The format for this year's event will be slightly different from last year and Michael O'Shea is asking members to print out their own entry forms, indemnity forms, hotel booking form and guide notes.
You may download the Event Information Sheet from HERE !
You may download your Concours Entry Form from HERE !
You may download the Event Entry Form and Hillclimb Booking Form (if you're taking part in this) from HERE !
Please send your Event Entry Forms and Hillclimb Booking Forms along with payment to Michael O'Shea.

HOTEL ACCOMODATION
We have again organised a Saturday night Dinner, Bed and Breakfast at the Tewkesbury Park Hotel and Country Club, GL20 7DN.
This is the same hotel as last year which I think everyone enjoyed and thought it very convenient to Prescott Hill Climb for the Sunday morning (11 miles).
The hotel has undergone many upgrades since last year including newly refurbished bedrooms and a resurfaced driveway.
The rate is £65 per person including dinner for a deluxe double or twin room and £75 per person for a single room.
Golf is available on Saturday for guests and can be booked directly with the hotel (green fees apply), there is also a gym and leisure club available for use too.
PLEASE NOTE: There is no deposit required, settle your account on the day with the hotel, but all bookings are firm, any cancellations after 20th May will be charged.

Maserati International Meeting 2015
Biarritz - Organised by the Club Maserati France
LATEST UPDATE:
"Hi Everyone,
I have received some information from Henri Teisseranc, the organiser of the French International rally in Biarritz this year, (and about to become the new president of the French Club).
• Booking for the Rally will take place online using their dedicated website www.MIR2015.fr which will go live sometime this January, probably between the middle of January and the end of January. With luck I shall have a couple of days warning and shall then alert all of you. You will have to have booked by 30th March.
• Costs will range from: €1900 for two people sharing a room for the rally with all meals included staying in a normal room, and rising to €2600 for 2 people sharing a room with a sea view. There will be single person supplement options.
• Only one hotel be used and the rally will be limited to 90 teams.
• Modern and classic cars will be welcome (Unlike previous years), with around a 50:50 mix but priority will given to classic cars. This means that if you have a classic car, bring it as there is a strong possibility of over subscription for modern cars.
• They will define classic cars as before the 3200GT. In other words classics are up to and including Shamals and Ghibli biturbos. Modern cars are 3200GT, Coupe and Spyder (4200), Quattroporte 5 and 6, GranTurismo, GranCabrio, Ghibli 3 (4-door).
• My advice is for you to book at the very earliest opportunity. I will assist as best I can and make the most of Henri’s tendency to favour our contingent. His avowed aim is to put on an event that is as good as the UK Club’s Goodwood event in 2009.
John Bennett is organising a tour for UK Club members to and from the event and you should contact him directly if you are interested and if you have any questions - jbb@dircon.co.uk.
Thomas Brimblecombe of Classic Grand Touring Ltd is organising a tour to the Angouleme event the weekend before and is preparing an add-on for those that then want to continue to the MIR2015 - www.classicgt.co.uk/contact-us/.
And finally, can you please let me have any additional information that would be useful, like what car you are thinking of bringing, your mobile phone number, whether you are interested in The John Bennett tour or the Thomas Brimblecombe tour etc.
Roger."
The 2015 Maserati International Meeting will be based in Biarritz in SW France at the Hotel du Palais www.hotel-du-palais.com.
The event will be limited to 90 cars split 50/50 between Classic and Moderns. The French club are defining Classics as cars up to and including Ghibli Biturbos and Shamals. Early booking will therefore be essential and if you are interested in attending please drop Roger Epsztajn an e-mail and he will advise you as soon as bookings are open and hopefully a little in advance! Contact: roger@maseraticlub.co.uk.
